LS1 engine mount
so i went to DGR fab in redwood city (cali) today. they had the ls1 engine mounts for sc300 made in aluminum. they are selling it for 1000 but i bet if you called them they would go cheaper.
just wanted to share because they welded up my diff for me "Drift fun time"=]

Thats a better price yes, but I am a bit nervous about placing an order with DGR. They have shut down their website, the phone numbers I have found for them dont work, and the only place I have been able to contact them is on Ebay.
Im getting ready to order my LS1, and dont have a problem with $900 for the motor-mounts (provided they stick with the quote that was emailed to me), I just want to be sure Im going to get my parts.

Yeesh someone needs to do this swap quick- I hope you do Turbodremz- everyone keeps talking, but I don't see any action whatsoever. It will be sick, just do it people. Screw the 2j, screw the 1UZ, screw the 1j. Who cares about "brand loyalty" It's a corporation with Millions of dollars- they don't care about you- cut the car up and have fun with it- because that's what modifying is all about. /off-soapbox
and the price of the mounting KIT is worth it. These are CAD designed billet mounts, along with some OTHER parts as well if I'm not mistaken.

yea well im not sure about what else is comes with all i saw was the engine and tranny mounts but im sure if its a kit it will be everything to mount it up. give them a call and yes someone do it.
as for the welded diff.... I ran it for 2 days and went drifting in the sc for the first time for 2 days and realized that drifting was not for me or at lease i was drifting in the wrong car...i was kinda scared to wreck because i put so much $ into the car bu after 2 days i missed the luxury smooth feel of the sc so i put my 5speed open rear end on and its feels sexy again.... the welded diff is great it works and its not expensive. i still have the diff so if i ever hit up a track day ill just swap the welded back on.
ps. the welded diff works and its cheap but if you have a gf that sits in the car with you do not weld your diff...trust me on this one.

But for sure, I will be placing the engine order this week, but other supporting parts will be over the next month or so such as a Koyo rad/fans, LS400 BBK, custom clutch line, etc. Oh and not to mention the cam, valve springs, and other supporting mods for the turbo I have sitting in my garage still. Hence the SC570-T in my sig.
Ill keep everyone updated as I go, but there is no turning back for me or my SC...LS or bust.
I was quoted the following:
$900 for the complete engine and trans mounts, with new urethane's all around, and that included the rear cross member being modified so there is no hassle witho the LS oil pan, or $800 without the modded "K" member.
And IIRC, they told me $800 or $850 for a driveshaft if I provided the pinion flange from my diff.
I can get the mounts cheaper, or make them myself if needed, but neither will be CNC'd from a solid aluminum piece like DGR offers, and I wont get the urethane mounts with them.
Well I have had a couple people ask me if I was going with a Tundra 5.7 swap, it was only a matter of time before everyone caught on.
Oh I will be for sure, but later on. Main concern right now is getting the engine in the car, the rest from there is cake, will just take a little time.
